name: bud dormancy process
namespace: biological_process
def: "A dormancy process in which dormancy (sometimes called a dormant state) is induced, maintained or broken in a bud. Bud dormancy is a suspension of most physiological activity and growth that can be reactivated. It may be a response to environmental conditions such as seasonality or extreme heat, drought, or cold. The exit from bud dormancy is marked by the resumed growth of the bud." [GOC:PO_curators, PO_REF:00009]
comment: Bud dormancy may precede dormancy of the whole plant.
